In 1984, at the age of 23, she married Bill. Theywere blessed with two children, a boy and a girl.By 1991 their love had deepened, and they were happy. Later that year, Bill developed a white spot on his tongue. He visited a doctor.One day shortly after that, Bill called Karen to sit beside him. He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her. The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS.The family was tested. Bill and Karen's results were positive. Bill had become infected before he met Karen; then he passed the virus on to Karen. The children's results were negative. Within three years, Bill was dead. "I don't know how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly. I cried many nights. He died three months short of ten years of our marriage, " says Karen.Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death, she is still alive. The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS.Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS, a figure larger than the combined populations of Australia. Ireland and Paraguay. According to one UN report, Africa has 21 million of these victims. By the turn of the century that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history. Of the world's sexually active adults aged 15 to 49, 1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV. Of these, only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected. In some parts of Africa, 25 percent of the adults are infected.Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981, about 11.7 million people have died of it. It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone, about 2, 3 million people died of it. Nevertheless, there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS. During the past few years, there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations. In addition, promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.(1) By telling the story of Karen, the author intends to____.A. were people against high risk behaviorsB. stress the importance of medical testsC. express sympathy for AIDS victimsD. show the consequences of AIDS(2) The underlined part in Paragraph1 most probably means “_____”.A. were lucky in havingB. were asked to adoptC. regretted havingD. gave birth to(3) Bill was suspected of being infected with HIV after___.A. he got married to KarenB. the family members were testedC. Karen persuaded him to see the doctorD. he found something wrong with his tongue(4) It can be concluded from the passage that_____.A. promising drugs will soon stop AIDSB. the spread of AIDS could be controlledC. it is hopeless to win the battle against AIDSD. the death rate of AIDS patients has been reduced23、【来源】 2007年高考真题湖北卷（B篇）第65~68题8分How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant TAL#NBSP does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking acrosssandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks （象牙）, and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a "bag" at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders-they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung （粪便） of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine （尿液） to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.(1) The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means "".A. remains in the African countriesB. drinks 120 liters of water a dayC. manages to live in desert areasD. eats 150 kilograms of food daily(2) Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they.A. rarely ruin treesB. drink only every 3-4 daysC. search for food in large groupsD. protect food sources for their young(3) The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with.A. stories and explanationB. facts and descriptionsC. examples and conclusionD. evidence and argument(4) What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A. Overheating the earth can be stopped.B. Not all animal species are so adaptable.C. The planet will become hotter and hotter.D. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.24、【来源】 2007年高考真题湖北卷（C篇）第69~71题8分Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn't mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias（恐惧症）much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological（心理的）. It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything-a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says: "Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge." So don't make the same old mistake of treating them as if they're silly for being a "scary cat". Handing the fears is essential.Children can be born nervous and, if you have such a baby, you'll tend to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, you'll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says: "You shouldn't force, for example, a dog anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke（抚摸）it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog-one that's good with children, of course-then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for' being brave."(1) Children's fears are usually taken lightly because.A. they will not develop into phobiasB. their influence is psychologicalC. they exist widely in the worldD. they will disappear gradually(2) If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will.A. make the same old mistakeB. overcome them by themselvesC. experience the worst of thingsD. grow up lacking self-confidence(3) According to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should.A. tell the child not to be afraid of itB. show the child how to approach itC. keep the child away from itD. ask the child to stroke it25、【来源】 2007年湖北高考湖北卷（D篇）第72~75题8分Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.Money can buy a degree of happiness.But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex.In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues."Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better, " conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors, for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health-rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap（差距）. Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone. "The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income." says Michalos.Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad "Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied？" asks Professor Laura Carstensen.In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they're more realistic about their time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don't."People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever, " she says. "A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20."(1) According to the passage, the feeling of happiness.A. is determined partly by genesB. increases gradually with ageC. has little to do with wealthD. is measured by desires(2) Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs.A. make them feel much betterB. provide chances to make friendsC. improve their social positionD. satisfy their professional interests(3) Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more.A. optimisticB. successfulC. practicalD. emotional(4) Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if.A. the gap between reality and desire is biggerB. they have a stronger desire for friendshipC. their income is below their expectationD. the hope for good health is greater26、【来源】 2007年高考真题湖北卷第76~80题10分Imagine you're at a party full of strangers. You're nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you've got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone's name tag （标签）. The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.This hasn't quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet's skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device （装置）, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient's medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. "The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly, " predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits.When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here's a wild guess: Not for buying milk.(1) The article is intended to.A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technologyB. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technologyC. convince people of the uses of RFID technologyD. predict the applications of RFID technology(2) We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people.A. will have no trouble getting data about othersB. will have more energy for conversationC. will have more time to make friendsD. won't feel shy at parties any longer(3) Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of.A. scanning devicesB. radio wavesC. batteriesD. chips(4) Why are some people worried about RFID technology?A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.B. Because market competition will become more fiercer.C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.(5) The last paragraph implies that RFID technology.A. will not be used for such matters as buying milkB. will be widely used, including for buying milkC. will be limited to communication usesD. will probably be used for pop music五、书面表达（共25分）27、【来源】 2007年湖北高考湖北卷第81题25分湖北高考假设你是某中学学生会主席李华，你校与本地一所国际学样经常举办联谊活动。

They involve difficult climbing.B. They are for experienced walkers.C. They share the same start point.D. They are scheduled for the weekend.BDo you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.Well, there’s a kiosk（小亭）for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.“You enter the fare gates（检票口）and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit（交通）systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.24. Why did BART start the kiosk program?A. To promote the local culture.B. To discourage phone use.C. To meet passengers’ needs.D. To reduce its running costs.25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A. By popularity.B. By length.C. By theme.D. By language.26. What has Trost been doing recently?A. Organizing a story contest.B. Doing a survey of customers.C. Choosing a print publisher.D. Conducting interviews with artists.27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A. It will close down.B. Its profits will decline.C. It will expand nationwide.D. Its ridership will increase.CWe all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm（BMF）shortens it even more.BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod（容器）to get the next growth cycle started.Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions（排放）from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.28. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?A. It guarantees the variety of food.B. It requires day-to-day care.C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance.D. It relies on farmer’s markets.29. What information does the convenient app offer?A. Real-time weather changes.B. Current condition of the plants.C. Chemical pollutants in the soil.D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.30. What can be concluded about BMF employees?A. They have a great passion for sports.B. They are devoted to community service.C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D. They have a strong environmental awareness.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. BMF’s major strengths.B. BMF’s general management.C. BMF’s global influence.D. BMF’s technical standards.DGiven the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution（变革）.In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code （代码）that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.32. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. If read by someone poorly educated.B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C. If written by someone less competent.D. If translated by someone unacademic.33. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A. It is packed with complex codes.B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C. It provides step-by-step instructions.D. It is intended for AI professionals.34. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A. Observe existing regulations on it.B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To recommend a book on AI.B. To give a brief account of AI history.C. To clarify the definition of AI.D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
